Councillors want legal advice on landbank sale plan

Councillors objecting to plans to sell a publicly-owned landbank in Cork want legal advice on four key issues relating to how the land disposal process was handled.

At a meeting behind closed doors last night, they agreed the wording of a formal motion setting out exactly what issues they want examined in relation to the process which has led to the proposed disposal of the 2.83-acre site in Deanrock, Togher, to a developer for €450,000.

It is the city’s second attempt to dispose of this site.
